Everton sit in eighth place with seven games left to play, having picked up 46 points.

They are level with Brentford who are two goals better off in goal difference. Chelsea are just two points ahead of the Toffees, with Merseyside rivals Liverpool a further point away, and eminently catchable given the derby is yet to come. Everton’s remaining schedule starts off with a six-pointer against the Bees that could go a long way towards determining which of the two could find themselves in Europe next season.

With that in mind, for this edition of the roundtable, we asked the RBM writers the following question – How high up the table can Everton finish? Give us your thoughts in the comments section below. Geoff – Realistically I think the very highest we can get is 6 th but more likely 7 th or stay 8th.

In some respects, I hope we don’t earn a Europa League place if Roma also find themselves there. The “Crystal Palace/ Lyon scenario” is not one I want to see. Some kind of European campaign might help with the attraction of decent players and furthermore we stand a chance of winning the lesser competition.
